the reality of the situation 1964 is that birr lost that match themselfs .the team fought with each other on and off the pitch ,the switches that were made has left every one in disbelieve ( it was like as if they wanted to lose with what was going on ) .birr never hurled at all in that game ...

That write up was fairly spot on alright .In a challange game couple ofweeks ago kenny got a bad roosting and cleary had to go full back .I thought it was bloody obvious that cleary should start full back and try kenny center .How many times was cleary beaten in there over the years ,he mightnt be ...

Have to agree with you lone shark .In the last round of club matches for example coughlan was way above the classest forward on display that sunday ,at least you`ll get something out of him in a game ,playing him for half an hour in a challagne game at midflield not going to do much for you .But ...

A sister of a panel player on last years team told me of how he arrived to the bus going to a match and pilkington told him he wasn`t wanted .Thats not good enough to treat young lads like that .He`s playing football now and not hurling and he wasn`t the only case .Similar outburst happened after ...

Good hard game between kinnitty & banagher .I have to say i love kinnitty style of hurling ,dogged in first half and the few opportunities they got they took them .They gave banagher a lesson in the second half in terms of clever hurling and doing simple things right .Because banagher such a young ...

Disappointed with belmont to be honest ,with a young team hoped they would improve from last year .Birr carried a few players clearly unfit but they hurled at a completely different level especially their stick work ,it really was a strole in the park stuff .Barry harding played corner forward (lack ...

Went into game sunday fuming at firstly queing for tickets (which gaa never said anything about)and then paying €60 for 2 adults and 2 kids under age og 6 .Another family from tipp echoed the same view .Not many are going to be able to afford to bring families in current economic climate but when we ...

This time last year i made the point ,paul cleary should never have been taken out of full back for the county .Cleary in fairness was never taken apart there .Kenny has worked brillantly there but your robbing peter to pay paul to play him full back .My point is 2 years ago our best line was center ...

Read pat spillane (sunday world) AND conlon (sunday independant ) they called it spot on .All mc carthy was , was a stoge for murphy to get back at those players for the last strike .As donal o grady pointed out he should have keep quiet and left it between the county board and the players but he ...

Its gut wrenching to see the way football has declined in offaly and the tread on the hogan stand regarding this hits the nail on the head .Offaly were never any good at the short handpass running game .Why are we always trying to copy everyone else (same with hurling ) play the way that suits and ...

if you read justin mc carthys book from acouple of years ago ,it will tel you a lot of whats wrong too .in it he tells of murphy been on around 8 different commetties ,manouvering himself in to position to get mc carthy .i remember in the nineties asking cork people what was wrong with cork gaa (up ...

dickie murphy was a disgrace ,nothing new in that ,simon lucky with head injury that it wasnt worse , m.travers ( wexford ) shouldve got the line (murphy threw in the ball ) and boden no. 14 looked first then pulled head high on cleary ( he was very lucky to walk away from that ).yet to see an ...

we dont need slight of hand to win mate considering the county board done their best to break up the birr club for years ,we rise above that type of dribble to get to all irelands .as for fecking up the footballers ,havent seen one of them in offaly in years .why were these 2 semis played on a ...

At the end of the day what did he say was wrong ,he was bloody right on alot of accounts .Was very disapointed in the way he managed the team that night regarding half backline and mid field area ,there was only a point in it 5 mins into second half .When the seniors played u21 in birr a while back ...

Its a hard ask but we can take them both .The top brass of the gaa would be quiet happy to have cork ,tipp & kk in all ireland every year .The likes of us and antrim ,laois ,They couldnt give a curse about samaller counties.The best answer to give them is beat the fuckers .Wednesday night is hughly ...
